Greenies
Greenies are one of the most beloved canine dental chews, beloved by pet parents for being both easy to digest and packed with essential vitamins and minerals. Clinical trials have proven Greenies can reduce plaque and tartar build-up while improving breath. Their special bristle section helps remove food stuck between their dog’s teeth – previously known as Bright Bites – Greenies come in multiple sizes to suit every dog and specific need, including weight management, puppy health and more.
These Kansas City-made ridged chews are free of poultry, corn, wheat and soy – potential allergens – while being packed full of carrots, blueberries, pea protein and parsley for antioxidant power. Give one daily depending on the size of your dog. It’s important to provide your pet with plenty of water when chewing!
OraVet
OraVet offers an assortment of dental chews and products designed to reduce tartar. Their gel is tasteless and odorless, easily applied over the dog’s teeth and gums and forms an invisible protective coating against bacteria – it has even been approved by VOHC for plaque and tartar reduction!
Oravet’s chews contain delmopinol HCI, an ingredient designed to coat a dog’s teeth to help combat plaque and tartar build-up, thus making these treats highly digestible with a tasty vanilla flavor that dogs love!
This company also offers a subscription service that will send your pet’s chews directly to you every month, making regular dental care simple and accessible. This option is especially convenient for busy dog owners who may lack time or patience for brushing; these chews keep pets busy for up to 45 minutes at once while helping to promote dental health; plus they’re low in fat and calories!
Purina Dental Chews
Dental chews for dogs can help remove plaque and tartar buildup on their teeth while massaging their gums and freshening their breath, giving your pup the best oral hygiene possible. While they cannot replace brushing, dental chews may prevent serious dental issues like gingivitis, tooth loss and infection by strengthening gums.
Purina ActivFresh Oral Care Chews are designed to tackle bad breath at its source rather than simply mask it with flavors or scents. Each chew features thousands of air pockets, porous surface area, and distinct ridges which help eliminate bacteria as your pet chews.
These plant-based Virbac CET VeggieDent chews are suitable for pets with food allergies and sensitivities, being made in the US with limited ingredients, making them less likely to choke on, but do not provide as much effective dental cleaning power than some other chews.
Blue Buffalo Dental Bones
Blue Buffalo Dental Bones are an all-natural dog treat, made in the US using globally sourced ingredients and vitamins and minerals that have been accepted by the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC). There are four sizes designed to fit dogs from five pounds up to 100 pounds; in addition, formulas exist specifically tailored towards puppies, seniors and weight management.
These chews are long-lasting and highly digestible, helping your pup keep clean teeth, fresh breath, and healthier gums. Made with an exclusive combination of natural ingredients to promote specific health benefits – without chicken/poultry by-product meals or corn, wheat or soy – this treat won’t put any additional stress on his or her system!
These chews are not only great at keeping your dog’s teeth healthy, they’re also delicious! Their smokey flavor and aroma provide a welcome change from minty or medicinal flavors often found in other chews.
